mr. wyden: mr. president, the pitch to republican senators this afternoon before the first vote was that it was snog but a little bit of -- it was nothing but a little bit of throat clearing, just the first step to get the conversation started. let's be clear. nobody can pretend that the stakes aren't real now. in a few minutes, the senate will be voting on yet another version of the senate trumpcare bill. i call it the bcra3.0. it features a special gut punch to consumer protection offered by senator cruz. my view is, the cruz proposal is a prescription for misery for millions of americans dealing with serious illness and bedlam in the private insurance market. forget, colleagues, all the talk about bringing costs down. this bill is going to send health expenses like deductibles and co-payments into the stratosphere. trumpcare 3.0, bcra 3.0, shows insurance companies, look, you're off the look for basic consumer protection. you get to bring back annual and lifetime caps on coverage, and those caps
